I should make this super clear too The ADA is only enforceable on people who are operating a business that serves the general public But if this were a purely private, personal interaction - "Sorry, I don't want dogs in my carpool" - he's still morally an asshole

There is no such thing as an "ADA-accessible car" The ADA describes many different kinds of accommodations, but when it comes to service animals EVERY CAR is an "ADA-accessible car"

That is their responsibility, yes. But the proper response to discovering that you have failed to properly vet an "employee" (as has occurred here, where Uber failed to detect that the driver was ableist to the point of refusing to follow federal law) is to fire them, no?

Re-training is a good way to fix problems caused by ignorance, but the driver stopped being ignorant of the law as soon as CS explained it to him. His continued refusal was bigotry, and I don't think job training is likely to fix that sort of issue.

It's worth pointing out that when one of the other drivers CS reported got a warning, that driver voluntarily quit in reaction to it
